More argument I guess for an
<not-xml-keep-you-mits-off-it-you-pesky-parser> tag. But this would really
only be any good to you if you never
wanted to place the closing tag within the element for content.

I think we can learn something from JavaScript here. Recognosing that you
might well want to express a string within a string, (routinely in the case
as dHTML annimation using setTimeout(...) ), JavaScript accepts both ' and
" for strings, allowoing nested strings. If you need to go deeper you can
specify \'. It certainly appears on the surface to be a similar issue.

Might we need a similar strategy with XSL, effectively providing two or
more logical units with the same functionality, with an absolute escape,
that cannot be expressed as part of the content (which we already have in
CDATA).

I confess that the issue is starting to go over my head which now has an
ache.

That's good to know. What does it emit for:

Have fun,
